“Teamwork is a primary reason EBSCO has successfully served the serials management needs of librarians for so many years. Our concept of providing subscription service is based on teams of dedicated employees serving customers in specific regions. My staff and I serve libraries in the Mountain/Plains States while eight other U.S. teams handle the serials needs of customers from Maine to Alaska to the Virgin Islands. And there are 17 more EBSCO offices located throughout the world, all fully staffed with a work force of serials professionals committed to working toward one goal.
“Maintaining a team effort is a lot of work. It requires constant communication, cooperation and corrective action from everyone.
We stress that every job and every detail, no matter how small, is important to the superior service our customers have come to expect. And we take nothing for granted.”
Juanita O’Neall Vice President/General Manager Denver, CO Regional Office
At EBSCO, we think librarians deserve to be served by a service-oriented subscription agency. Don’t you?
